Shiba coin

There’s some substance behind Shiba Inu, just not very much. When the market slumps, it’s cryptos with less utility and less established reputations that are hardest hit. Part of the reason for the recent crypto crash is that economic uncertainty has driven people out of riskier assets like cryptocurrency .

As many have pointed out over recent weeks, the big reason why cryptos like Bitcoin are falling alongside tech stocks, experts argue, is the Federal Reserve’s more hawkish turn in its November meeting , indicating an accelerated pace of tapering and rate hikes—a shift away from policies that buoyed crypto since 2020.

Bitcoin fell to a two-week low Tuesday after Russia ordered troops into two separatist regions in eastern Ukraine. Geopolitical tensions and climbing inflation are among the key factors weighing down on bitcoin’s price.
